The SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Haunted Palace' featuring Yook Seong-jae and Kim Ji-yeon embarks on a love journey filled with certainty.
The SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Haunted Palace' (written by Yoon Soo-jung, directed by Yoon Sung-sik), which is spotlighted as a unique fantasy historical drama introduced in 2025 by the drama kingdom SBS, follows the shaman Yeori, who rejects the fate of a medium, and the imugi Kang-cheol, who is trapped in the body of Yeori's first love, Yoon-gab, facing the eight-legged ghost harboring a grudge against the royal family in a gripping tale of body and soul intertwined. The thrilling aspect of the imugi's possession, the actors' superb character play, and the intriguing palace mystery blended with the chilling presence of K-monsters have propelled the series to three consecutive weeks of reigning at the top of the ratings during its time slot and achieving first place among Saturday mini-series, showcasing a remarkable ratings climb.
In the meantime, the 'Haunted Palace' team has today (9th) released stills capturing the heart-pounding moment of Kang-cheol (played by Yook Seong-jae) and Yeori (played by Kim Ji-yeon) on the eve of the seventh episode broadcast, raising heart rates. In the revealed stills, Kang-cheol and Yeori exhibit a 180-degree shift from their usual bickering to an intimate mood that tickles the heart, capturing attention. The childish demeanor is nowhere to be seen as Kang-cheol carefully picks up Yeori, transforming into a heart-fluttering bodyguard. Particularly, as if conscious of Yeori, who gently leans against his back, a trace of awkward tension seeps through his expression, evoking laughter while amplifying the pink mood. Given that this is his first love after a millennium, curiosity is heightened regarding the transformation of the imugi Kang-cheol as he becomes aware of his feelings.
Additionally, the eye contact between Kang-cheol and Yeori also draws attention. Kang-cheol, leaning towards Yeori, gazes at her with eyes devoid of the chilling aura of the evil spirit, revealing only 100% genuine affection that makes hearts flutter. Alongside this, Yeori's flustered and shy demeanor follows, further intensifying the romantic tension between the two. It raises expectations for how the romance between the two, whose bodies and souls are deeply intertwined over Yoon-gab's flesh, will unfold in the future 'Haunted Palace' broadcast.
